WORST NANDOS EVER!!!! Disgusting, my friend had mash she sent it back for being frozen and they brought out another frozen mash, the girl serving us never even said sorry and when she brought the new frozen one out she gave my friend a dirty look then when we tried to call her back she ignored us, apart from the mash all the food was horrible aswell cold chips grease dripping hallomi

This place is awful. Put me off Nando’s. Just have a look behind the counter - they shouldn’t have an open kitchen - it’s disgusting behind there. Chicken over cooked and cold. It’s not hard cooking chicken is all you do. Food was sat out for 10 mins whilst all the staff were just milling around looking busy and came out cold. Managers comment “it was under the heat lamp”. Sent it back. Go to pizza express next door, always good.

I have been to Nando’s several times and this is the first time I am having a bad experience like this . Chicken was so dry and looked old , long stem broccoli was over cooked and didn’t taste right , garlic bread was burned. I ended up sharing my friend’s food. I don’t think I will never be back to Dorchester Nando’s .

Was very disappointed as I was looking forward to having Nando’s. Didn’t mention anything if this place serves halal chicken. But it come up in the google maps as halal. As I wasn’t sure. I thought I call them up. I was told they are NOT serving halal chicken

Nando's Dorchester is definitely not as good as it was when it first opened, I paid £15 for 4 chicken thighs and 2 sides, so basically £5.50 for small coleslaw and chips, and £9.50 for the smallest chicken thighs I have ever seen, or actually I have it was a poussin. A complete waste of money.......... Reply to Nando's reply. If you had read this review properly I didn't give you the heads up or mention speed of staff, I said that your chicken thighs were TOO SMALL and a waste of money.

Sorry but overall a less than satisfactory experience. Went on a wet Wednesday evening, 25 minutes wait was the estimate, got to the table well within that time, so good on that point. However, that was about as good as it got. Went to choose food from menu; and there was no chicken on the bone. Very much like going to MC Donalds, and not being able to get a hamburger really. Choice of beverage was very limited; just sagres lager with a spirit glass.No wine spritzer unless you brought a whole bottle of lemonade. Not an involving experience, to be honest, and won't be returning to this establishment anytime soon.

Truly great experience at Nando's Dorchester from start to finish. Great food Great atmosphere and excellent service. Kiana was a good laugh, probably more at my expense of how weak my pallet is when it comes to spice but that's nothing new. Friendly professional and knowledgeable of your menu. It's nice to see someone take pride in their work and always have a smile. A credit to your business. Food quick tasty and on the contrary to some other reviews it was hot right down to the last chip. Atmosphere was brilliant not a grumbled customer in site. Thank you Kiana and thanks Nando's Dorchester for the experience. Hopefully pop in again when I'm down this way next. Thanks Steff Table 7

In the hallowed halls of Nando's, where culinary dreams unfold, my friend and I embarked on an odyssey that transcended the boundaries of mere dining. The grilled halloumi, a gastronomic marvel, whispered promises of celestial delights with each decadent bite, casting a spell that left us enraptured in a symphony of flavors. Yet, it was not the delectable dish alone that etched this evening into the annals of unforgettable experiences. Enter George, a virtuoso in the grand opera of hospitality. His entrance, marked by a radiant smile that could rival the sun, set the stage for a performance that would linger in our memories like a timeless masterpiece. George, the maestro of service, orchestrated a ballet of kindness that unfolded with every gesture. His recommendations were not mere culinary suggestions; they were sonnets of gastronomic poetry. The nuanced artistry of his hospitality transformed our visit into an immersive theater of senses, where each detail was meticulously curated for our pleasure. As we savored the grilled halloumi, George's presence elevated the dining experience to a crescendo of delight. It wasn't just a meal; it was an epic narrative, a dramatic saga that unfolded with each course. His unwavering commitment to ensuring our satisfaction and comfort painted the evening with strokes of benevolence and left an indelible imprint on our souls. Nando's, with its divine grilled halloumi and the dramatic brilliance of George, has become not just a restaurant but a stage where gastronomy and hospitality converge in a theatrical spectacle. An evening that transcended the ordinary, leaving us spellbound in a crescendo of flavors, smiles, and kindness – a theatrical masterpiece at Nando's that will echo in our hearts for years to come.

Staff members don’t seem to be awake, very slow even when not busy, chicken very dry, used to be good a few years ago, needs a new manager or some better staff not the Nando’s experience I remember.

Went to Nandos today for lunch and the chicken was dry and tasteless. It wasn’t freshly cooked upon my order, instead it was reheated. Complained about it and nothing was done to repair the bad service. Not the first time this happens to me at Nandos Dorchester, so I won’t be going there again or give a good feedback.

So we arrived and the place looked nice and then it's went down hill. Sid Phillips was in charge of seating people, however this task was beyond his intellectual talent and needed help from his colleague. Once the seating ordeal was over we ordered our food. To be honest my food was nice but a bit cold however my girlfriends food was cold and yet somehow burnt. Anyway we the left and no one was seriously injured by the experience.

The young boy on arrival was absolutely ridiculous. Had no common sense took us ages to get a seat even though there was plenty of tables available just needed a clean. We waited over 20 minutes to be seated as staff was too busy having a chit chat, and the young lad didn't have a clue what he was doing. The food arrived quickly however was all cold. The toilets was absolutely disgusting. Wouldn't recommend. Worst nandos I've ever visited.

We waited for a hour to get our order, the staff were busy talking to people who they knew, only serving others when they found time in their conversation. When the food arrived my salad (yes one hour for a salad) was not complet as parts were not on the plate. Mind you I did not send it back, there was only 4 hours left till closing time and I was hungry!

Lovely food, fresh and delicious, only let down was the lack of table service, I get that it's probably a post-covid thing, but seriously- its not that hard to take an order is it? but nope, we were taken to the table and left, told to scan a QR code and order ourselves, nobody to ask about the food if we had a query etc. The town has no mobile signal and their WiFi wasn't working so we couldn't order so the waiter told us to go to the counter and place the order. Got huffed at by the bloke on the till because we couldn't order online, then had to go back and repeat the same ordeal to a put-out girl when we ordered more drinks and dessert- sorry that you actually had to do any work!!!

After a catastrophic waste of time with trying to order the menu via the QR code resulting in no food or drinks 20 minutes after sitting down, my wife went up with daughter and ordered the old fashioned way resulting in the food turning up shortly after. It was very tasty, decent sized sides too. So although it may have started out rubbish, we will have no problems going back there. Staff were lovely too.

Don't go with the initial"place your order by scanning the QR code"as if that's the only way to eat. It is rubbish as it's unreadable If you don't have 20/20 vision and it's a cop out of getting service...so, order at the till and then you get great service. The food was delicious as Nandos always are and staff were friendly. Recommended. Tell them to shove the QR though!
